A free present for Christmas

American Express offers additional free insurance cover

Britons spend over £17bn on gifts at Christmas with the average shopper spending £378 each on presents.

To help householders protect both the Christmas presents bought and received, American Express automatically increases household contents sum insured by ten per cent from December 1st through to January 15th for all its customers.

Joanne Field, Marketing Manager, American Express Insurance Services comments: "Unfortunately the Christmas period is popular with burglars who realize there are a lot of new goods in homes waiting to be given or received.

Our home insurance customers have increased protection across the Christmas and New Year period to help cover their gifts and provisions in the home."We would encourage all householders to review the level of home contents insurance cover is adequate every year, particularly around the Christmas and New Year period".For further details of American Express Insurance Services and its policies, please call 0800 1690903 or go on-line at www.americanexpress.co.uk//home/.
